Yep, they're not shy are they
Top one is a fledgling, second one is him or one of his 2 siblings being fed.

My friend is a photographer and I envy him. It's that rare case when your hobby is your job. And I took a look at wedding photographers in cornwall and like really, you can get a job in some company organazing events and voila, you're all set!

What are the current thoughts regards using UV filters to protect the lens ? You buy the best glass you can afford, then put a cheap (in-comparison) piece of cheap glass in front of it for protection, or dismiss the filter and risk getting water /debris on the lens ?

Depends how you use your gear really, if your often wiping fingerprints off the lens then yes you should use them.
I only really use one for insect macro or days out with the family when I might pass it too one of the kids.
I do usually use a hood tho, both to stop flares and for a bit of protection
bit geeky but interesting

Thanks Duggs, your thoughts resemble what I have recently concluded having used a filter for as long as I can remember. Bare back it is going forward

Mpb are pretty good for trade ins, I have used park cameras and cameraworld but went to the stores after an estimate online.
I've found places like cash converters and cex often pay more than camera shops when selling but you tend to get better value with trade ins
